Germany is a wonderful cherry-picked example, but it is hardly the only country in Europe to pay for higher education - many of the others aren't in such great financial shape.
I would love to see higher education made accessible to everyone with the ability to do so, and would love to see college cost a lot less, even if it is too late for me (6 figures of student loan debt). But just saying 'the government should pay for it look at Germany' is a far too simplistic outlook, especially in the face of crippling yearly deficits that aren't showing any signs of going away under either party's 'leadership'.
Apparently, since there is only one dimension in this particular argument, cobrausn believes there is only one factor in economic results. Today, anyway.
